Excerpt from Why the Mind Has a Body
Let us stop for a moment, before going further, to consider the consequences to a series of sciences which would result from asserting or denying causal relations between body and mind.

Excerpt from Why the Mind Has a Body
The reader will find in this book (1) a sketch of an explanation of the connection of mind and body; (2) a proposal, based thereon, for a settlement of the controversy between the parallelists and the inter-actionists.
(1) The explanation of the connection of mind and body is not in substance new. It is that which is implied in the pangsychism of Fechner and Clifford. Brief expositions of it have been given by Paulsen in his Einldtung in die Philosophic-indeed, to Paulsen I owe ray first acquaintance with it - and, more recently, by Stout in the chapter "Body and Mind" of his Manual. What specially characterizes my treatment of the matter is the detailed working-out of the conception in terms of the hypothesis of mental causality. I have also set forth somewhat elaborately the scientific and metaphysical premises on which it rests.
Perhaps owing to the brevity with which it has been presented, this explanation has thus far attracted little attention. Most philosophical writers seem not to have grasped it. They are accustomed to treat the connection of mind and body as inexplicable.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between mind and body, a question that has captivated philosophers and scientists for centuries. The author delves into the age-old debate about whether the mind acts upon the body, or vice versa, or if both simply exist in a state of parallel, non-causal association. This book presents a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the evidence, drawing on empirical observations and philosophical reasoning to argue that consciousness is inextricably linked to physical processes, particularly those of the brain. The author meticulously examines various facts that seem to suggest action of mind on body, action of body on mind, and dependence of mind on body, ultimately demonstrating that the relationship is far more intimate and complex than previously thought. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling argument for the inseparability of the mind and the body, challenging conventional notions about their distinct nature.
